I had 2 older flashlights that i used extensively. After years of use the switches had worn out. Sent them a picture, told them what was wrong and they sent new ones. It doesn't get any better than that!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ok, so i bought my husband a g25 glashlught for christmas, he had one before and has been using coast products for 10+ years, unfortunately the flashlight didnt work out of box, but customer support took very good care of me, i am thankful for that, my husband is very happy with the g26 he recived, to my knowledge it has two settings, bright and extra bright (sorry dont know the lumens i think theyre called) but my husband NEVER leaves home without it in his pocket, hes stated several times he feels "naked" without it.
All in all, coast has 10 stars rating from me and my husband

Perfect Light for Me, Durable, Bright!

I had been looking for a flashlight that had these features: Fixed Beam, AA Batteries, End Switch, 100+ lumen, and 2 or less intensity settings. (I am not into rechargeable or special size batteries, or going thru 5 different intensities to get HIGH.)
I had purchased a replacement for a discontinued 100 Lumen product from a competitor I had gotten 10 years ago that had a MSRP Twice of the G26, I started with the G25 and was very impressed with that item, and then I purchased several G26's, and all I can say is WOW...Its BRIGHT, very durable, turns on to HIGH on first click every time, has an easy to use end "clicky switch" (beats the heck out of the "twist on" style small lights) I have literally dropped mine 25 feet to the concrete, and dropped a G25 into antifreeze and thought it was "done" well I was wrong...the thing keeps working flawlessly!
I don't use them all daily, so I use only "Lithium AA Batteries" that are available everywhere (brand "E"), they are about 2x the price of standard AA...BUT...they don't leak and have a 10 year shelf life, they also last 2-3 times as long as standard alkaline.
I have given MANY away as gifts, because I like to give practical gifts that are high quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needing a good flashlight I went to the local mercantile. The salesman recommended the Coast G26. The price was right and he said he had one himself and used it often. I have had mine about three years and use it a couple of times a month and was so pleased that gave each of the family one for Christmas. This time was looking for an earring back dropped on the carpet. The flashlight came on briefly then quit. New battery. It took me a good hour to get the bottom off the unit and the battery out. It was corroded. Spent another 30 minutes cleaning out the corrosion to no avail. The new battery made no difference. The flashlight is now in the trash.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Could be better

Bought this flashlight from a CDN retailer.
1. Let me start with saying that the LED's in this flashlight are bright, but only worked like a flashlight should, turned on, turned off.
2. No hi/lo setting. simply on/off, that's all.
3. Was plenty bright as long as it had fresh batteries. Drained batteries quickly.
4. On/off switch didn't last. Could definitely use a better quality switch. In my line of work, my light gets turned on and off on a regular basis.
5. Conveniently, my in store warranty expired and now i'm forced to purchase a new one.

Have had many of these “redesigned” G26 flashlites, every one has gone back to Coast for repair/ replacement.
Main problem: Tube gets excessively warm during use, batteries (from Coast) leak acid inside tube. Are these problems related? IDK.
I’m not a flashlite engineer, but, I DO know when something gets hot, it is consuming energy.
Apparently, the problem has not been resolved, the new ones do the same thing.

Small light the size of a thick marker. For 330 lumens it’s very bright. Low and high setting
